Our first Cars and Coffee event of the New Year was a resounding success (especially if you consider some of the exhaust notes!) The weather couldn’t have been better under a clear, sunny, San Diego winter day. We had over 100 BMWs participating this time and several other marques showing up as well. It was good to be back at Liberty Station at the Point Loma Cars and Coffee event, a fan favorite.

At some past time, we BMW enthusiasts didn’t have a Bimmer as one of our pastimes. Each of us came to BMW ownership in our own way. Maybe one caught our attention on the road or at a Cars and Coffee. Maybe a co-worker pulled up in a shiny 5 Series and you were inspired to get one too. Maybe you read an article or watched a YouTube video and just knew BMW was the right car for you. We all have our own stories.
Read MoreAutocross Runoff Results
/On June 29 our chapter hosted the 12th Annual Rug Cunningham Memorial Autocross in the west lots at SDCCU Stadium. Our runoff format features early timed runs, from which we gather class winners to go head to head in a Mystery Car. The Mystery Car provides a level playing field to see who's fastest of the fast.
The weather was perfect, with a little bit of spitting rain in the early afternoon. The course for the event was a reprise of a very fast and flowing one previously used for the 2015 runoff. Satakal Khalsa has been hitting the ball out of the park for the Club's recent courses, the runoff was no exception.
Independent Motorcars provided the Mystery Car, a 1993 318is. More than one runoff competitor remarked that the car has great balance and handling, but can be challenging to drive fast if you're not careful with your momentum.
